I am crushed. I cannot begin to express the depths of my sadness at this.

I knew it was coming, but I am truly devastated.

Yep, sad day indeed. When I was about 3 years old my uncle gave me a very early Xmen issue...I still have it, in "as far from mint condition as you can get" (because 3 year old). Stan's been with me ever since.

He's another one of those that, in doing something seemingly inconsequential, touched more people that he could have ever predicted.

I didn't say dead. I said he has died. It wouldn't make much sense to say, "Stan Lee has dead." That's not grammatically correct.
